Default Computer Trouble

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Richard, the 11 year old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over. Richard clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong? He replied :It was an ID ten T error." I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless I inquired "An, ID ten T error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again." Richard grinned. "Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?'' "No," I replied. "Write it down," he said, "and I think you'll figure it out." So I wrote down: "I D 1 0 T" I used to like the little shit.

Don't forget about a "PEBKAC" error either.

Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair.


Or...if you cannot get something to work, tell them it's FUCT. Failed Under Continuous Testing.

COLLEGE?!? I think it was in our early days of elementary school that we were writing that all over the place. Primarily the top of girls' hands, like you

Around the same time as when we'd make those folded paper monster things that unfold and tell people their "fortunes." You'd always put in 3 good fortunes, and 1 that says they're gay or will marry the ugly girl in class

Geek Squad refers to those problems as "PICNIC".










Problem In Chair, Not In Computer
